I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 495 New Skill: Time Acceleration

A ball of purple light?

Dugu Qiu thought to himself after hearing this: "Could it be a fragment of the Dragon Ball? Did this person swallow the fragment of the Dragon Ball and then awaken the mysterious power? This explanation makes sense."

"I have never owed anyone a favor in my life. If you have any wishes, just tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you. Whether it's wealth and glory, or endless wealth, you can ask for it all." Dugu Qiu said with a smile.

When one reaches his level of spiritual practice, what he fears most is karma. If there is karma, it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Hearing Dugu Qiu's words, Zhang Chen shook his head, as if he was really a simple boy in the mountains, his eyes were full of innocence, holding Judgment in his arms and said: "I don't have any big wishes, saving you is also my heartfelt idea, you don't have to feel psychologically burdened."

Dugu Qiu was immediately anxious when he heard this. When he reached his level of cultivation, he was most afraid of karma. This golden elixir was powerful and it saved him. How big of a karma was this? If he didn't pay it back in advance, he would have to wait until he overcame the three disasters and faced a reckoning. At that time, he would have to pay back even more.

So Dugu Qiu stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes fixed on him: "No! You must tell me a wish."

Zhang Chen looked at Dugu Qiu, who was looking at him with an intimidating gaze, and said, "But I really don't have any wishes."

"You must have it! How can a person not have a wish? As long as you put it forward, no matter what the wish is, I can make it come true for you." Dugu Qiu's voice was full of confidence.

As the number one person in the palace of the Dasheng Dynasty, he does have the capital to say this.

"Any wish is fine? Any wish can come true?" Zhang Chen asked tentatively.

Dugu Qiu nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, any wish is fine! I can make it come true."

"If you insist on asking me to say it, my parents are dead, can you bring them back to life? This is my only wish." Zhang Chen blinked and looked at Dugu Qiu, his eyes full of expectation.

Of course he knew that Dugu Qiu did not have such ability, but if he did not make an excessive request, how could he gain the authority to comprehend the judgment later?

Dugu Qiu's expression froze when he heard this, a blush rushed to his head, and he said angrily: "If I had the ability to bring the dead back to life, would I end up like this? You are too whimsical. You should change your request and don't have such unrealistic dreams. As long as you can make a tangible request, I, the ancestor, can make it happen for you."

Zhang Chen lowered his eyes after hearing this, pouted his lips and muttered, "You're still saying that anything I ask of you can be fulfilled. You're just a boaster."

Although his mumbling voice was low, Dugu Qiu could hear it clearly with his cultivation. He saw veins popping up on his forehead, but he couldn't get angry in front of his benefactor. Besides, the other party was just a child, so how could he bother with a child?

Then Zhang Chen raised his head nonchalantly and said, "I don't have any wishes. If you really want me to make a wish to satisfy it, then just give me this spear. When I used this spear to kill the hidden golden elixir monster before, it was quite handy to use."

Zhang Chen looked very relaxed, as if he had no idea about the details of the verdict and only regarded it as an ordinary spear. It seemed that the wish he made was just a casual response, in order to prevent the other party from pestering him and to get over it as soon as possible.

Of course, Zhang Chen also knew that Dugu Qiu would never give him the spear, and he just wanted to get a chance to test the spear.

Unexpectedly, when Dugu Qiu heard Zhang Chen's words, his face twitched involuntarily. He looked at Zhang Chen opposite him, his face turned blue and purple, and he was speechless for a while.

"What? You can't even do such a simple request? It's just a spear, and you say you can satisfy all my wishes. Are you deliberately teasing me?" Zhang Chen looked Dugu Qiu up and down, and bullied him with words.

Dugu Qiu smiled bitterly in his heart. This divine weapon belonged to the Dasheng court. How could he have the right to make the decision?

Dugu Qiu was slapped in the face by the boy opposite him for boasting twice. Facing Zhang Chen's expression of "are you trying to make fun of me?", hesitantly said: "If you want weapons, all kinds of magic weapons, I can satisfy you. All kinds of spears, even a thousand or ten thousand are fine, but this one is not enough."

Dugu Qiu's confidence was weakened by Zhang Chen's bullying. He didn't even dare to speak loudly, and his face was really painful from being hit by Zhang Chen.

"I think you are just looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility, taking advantage of my young age, and want to erase the value of my golden elixir. But I saved you willingly. If you don't want to repay me, why do you play tricks on me? You are so hypocritical." Zhang Chen continued to bully Dugu Qiu, choking him so much that his face turned blue and purple. He wanted to explain the extraordinary spear, but Zhang Chen didn't give him a chance: "I think you are not sincere, and you just want to fool me casually. I won't make it difficult for you. You can lend me this spear for a day, and we will settle the cause and effect. You don't have to ask me to make any demands. We are even now."

Dugu Qiu's face twisted. "If you like this spear, you can just take it and play with it. Just return it to me when I leave. The conditions I mentioned still count, but the conditions you put forward are limited to wealth and glory. I can satisfy you, but you cannot make those outrageous requests."

Zhang Chen glanced at Dugu Qiu and said, "I have mastered the mysterious power now. Fortune and wealth are within my reach. Why should I ask you for help?"

His words were full of contempt, making Dugu Qiu seem very hypocritical.

Dugu Qiu paused for a moment, looked Zhang Chen up and down, and finally said helplessly: "I can accept you as my disciple."

Zhang Chen was shocked. He practiced the way of immortality and had many secrets that he couldn't let the light shine on him. How could he dare to get involved with Dugu Qiu? He looked Dugu Qiu up and down.
"Forget it, just take care of yourself first. You're already so miserable. If I were to become your disciple, wouldn't I be as miserable as you?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"I..." Dugu Qiu felt depressed when he heard this. Looking at the young man's contemptuous eyes, he was speechless.

He is one of the most powerful masters in the world, and he defeated the royal family's pillar of support, but he was despised by a country bumpkin. Is this fair?

There were countless people in this world who wanted to become his disciples but had no chance. And the young man in front of him just looked down on him. Dugu Qiu felt mixed emotions and was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Chen stroked the Judgment in his arms and muttered curiously, "I don't see anything special about your spear. Why are you reluctant to give it up?"

As he spoke, Zhang Chen activated his own magical power, the golden light of the god, and penetrated into the spear silently.

Zhang Chen's golden light of the righteous god has reached the fifth level, which can cause damage to the tenth level evil spirits. It is the most powerful means in his hands at present.

As Zhang Chen finished speaking, the golden light of the righteous god penetrated into the spear. Judgment seemed to sense the invasion of strange power. The next moment, a terrifying force revived and was about to counterattack Zhang Chen.

As the mysterious master, Dugu Qiu immediately noticed the abnormality of Judgment. He summoned Judgment back with a wave of his hand and suppressed the revived power within Judgment. Then he looked at Zhang Chen, who was trembling with fear. He looked at Dugu Qiu with a pale face and explained in a trembling voice, like a frightened bird: "I just want to activate the power in my body to attach it to this spear to play with it..."

Dugu Qiu saw Zhang Chen's frightened expression and knew that the boy was frightened. He could also guess that he did it unintentionally, so he did not blame him. Instead, he said carefully: "Boy, this spear is not simple, don't do it recklessly! The mysterious power you control cannot come into contact with it. If you provoke this treasure to become powerful, I can't save you."

"This spear of yours is really weird and dangerous. No wonder you refused to give it to me. I almost died from that spear just now." Zhang Chen said with trembling lips.

As he spoke, Zhang Chen looked at the ball of transparent light under his feet. The ball of light fell from the Judgment, and he didn't know whether it was a skill or experience value.

Dugu Qiu put away his spear, looked at the frightened Zhang Chen, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, the best treasures in this world all have tempers. If you have any wishes, think about them as soon as possible and tell me before I get off the boat."

Zhang Chen ignored Dugu Qiu and sat there as if thinking about what conditions he should propose. However, his real attention was on the ball of light on the ground. This was something that fell from the twelfth-level mystery. He wondered what skills it could provide him.

[Skill discovered, would you like to pick it up? ]

The gold finger page popped up at the right time.

"It's actually a skill." Zhang Chen was very excited and said silently: "Pick it up!"

[Skills being picked up...]

【New skill: Time acceleration.】

Then Zhang Chen's gold finger page twisted and turned into a snowflake state and refreshed directly:
[Skill 21 (Ungraded): Time Acceleration (0/10000000)]

[Note 1: If you use a skill on an item, time can be accelerated by one year.]

[Note 2: The same item can only be activated once a day]

"Shit! Time is accelerating!" Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger page with disbelief in his eyes.

Time skill! This is definitely a forbidden power!
Is this a skill I can master?

Even if it can only speed up one year at a time, it is definitely an incredible method.

Judgment actually has a time attribute?
Isn't Judgment a punishment from heaven? Why can it release a time skill?
Zhang Chen's breathing began to quicken, his eyes full of disbelief.

I made a fortune! I exchanged a golden elixir for the power to control time. I wouldn't trade it for any great opportunity!

"I'm so lucky." Zhang Chen's heart was pounding.

Dugu Qiu, who was refining the elixir at the side, noticed that Zhang Chen's breathing was abnormal. He glanced at Zhang Chen and said, "Boy, you are so excited. Are you thinking of asking me for something? As long as your request is reasonable, I will never refuse and will satisfy you directly."
